He got hurt when he ran into AJ Hawk. That guy is an animal. He didn't even budge when Al ran into him!!!

Al always played hard, I watched him play at A&M Kingsville, and he was often at my house. Good luck Al, take care of yourself. The Pack will miss you!!!

This is tough, no question. Patrick Craig is right, it takes time for guys to develop, but this is supposed to be a "Super Bowl" year. The margin for error is so slight in the NFL, and right now I think the biggest concern for the Packers is at safety. Atari "the JoyStick" Bigby sits and the running attack for the Cowboys goes off due to bad alignments, bad angles, and so on. I think the Pack can withstand the loss of Harris, but not if they start tier two guys at Safety.

Last thing... Dallas is good. Real good. Top 5 Receivers, Top 5 O-line, and very good QB. Now a quality 1-2 punch at RB? The Packers won't see that every week, and as we saw last year, they might not have to on the way to the NCF Championship.

Congrats to the NFP for getting their name out in the South Texas media rag that is the San Antonio Express-News...

"PACKERS' HARRIS TESTED FOR RUPTURED SPLEEN: Green Bay cornerback Al Harris underwent additional medical tests amid a report he might have ruptured his spleen in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. The NATIONAL FOOTBALL POST, a Website that lists Harris' agent as a contributor, reported that the injury could end Harris' season, but Harris was seeking a second opinion."
